Rias Baixas Albarino 'Blanco' 2024
Alberto Nanclares is an unassuming new star in Cambados. From working as an economist for many years, to a fortuitous second career in grape-growing, to today crafting some of the most serious, ocean-infused, age-worthy single vineyard Albariños. Alberto is an ever-evolving colleteiro bringing Val do SalnĂ©s wines back to their Atlantic roots.Â
---
Blanco is Albariño from a collection of 67 plots in the villages of SalnĂ©s and Condado zones. The vines are 15-95 years old and planted on sandy decomposed granite, clay and alluvial soils. The grapes are harvested by hand, sorted, and gently pressed in whole-bunches using a pneumatic press. The juice ferments with its native yeasts in stainless steel tank plus 5% neutral French oak barrel, then rests on the lees for around 8 months, with weekly batonnage for the first 3 months.Â
